06 / About

An independent multidisciplinary builder based in Arizona.

My name is Steven Adkins. I currently work in technology, with professional experience spanning B2B communication, customer operations, service coordination, customer experience, and business-facing relationship management.

I also work creatively across writing, photography, creative direction, visual storytelling, UX/content, and AI-assisted concepts. I communicate professionally in English and Spanish.

Trine brings that range together in one place: the products I build, systems I improve, experiences I shape, and people I hope to work with next.
